Hakko Dial type temperature limiting soldering iron FX600 (Japan import)

I bought this soldering iron and I plugged it into the socket outlet which burnt out instantly. Unfortunately, nothing mentioned in the specifications regarding the voltage. It is only mentioned on the soldering iron itself. Despite that “Hakoo” is very good soldering iron brand, I put one star for the following reasons:1. Noting mentioned in the specifications about the supply voltage.2. I considered that all imported electrical items to UAE should be 220VAC.

Excelente cautín, en unos 20 segundos alcanza temperatura y su regulador ontegrado te da varias opciones camparado con otras opciones. Ya he comprado varios para uso en casa y la oficina, todos excelentes.

Je viens de le recevoir, je l'ai pas encore testé, je découvre qu'il a déjà été utilisé (voir la photo de l'embout), est-ce normal ??? Je laisserais un autre commentaire après l'utilisation, j'ai payé aussi cher pour avoir un produit tout neuf, je suis déçue 💔

Great soldering iron, easy to use and gets plenty hot with its temperature control

I ordered this iron as an upgrade to my Sparkfun 937b soldering station. I wanted something more compact yet more powerful, while also more durable. The wand for my 937b would sometimes start to flex if I was applying a little but of pressure to get solid contact between the tip and the work. I wasn't overdoing it, it's just that once the plastic wand would heat up it would start to be less rigid.To begin this Hakko iron is extremely durable. It is very well built. It's very rigid and you can tell from the hardware and fittings that it's meant for steady work and can take heavy use if needed. Also, don't let the nominal 50W power rating fool you. That is the wattage you get if you use the Japanese 100v electrical system. Here in North America where we use 120v this iron runs at 74W. Check the excerpt from the manual I've attached to the review. 74 watts is plenty of power for large jobs like soldering heavy wires and large speaker tabs. And, unlike the many clones and no-name irons and ironing stations out there, when Hakko says 74 W I believe them! Just because a $15 no-name iron says it's 60W doesn't mean it's true! With this iron, however, you can bank on being 74W at 120v. Another advantage is that it has a 2-prong plug, instead of the grounded 3-prong plug that is on the North American market version. While this does mean you have to manually ground it if you want it to be 100% ESD safe, it also means the power cable is much lighter and more flexible than the one on the grounded version. This means it is more comfortable to use, and the cable won't pull the iron out of the holder just by its weight.Grounding is easy, by the way; just before you take the tip to the work, touch it against whatever you are using as a ground bus...like the place you connect your grounding wrist strap and/or your grounding desk mat to. Don't have either of those? Then don't worry about whether the iron is grounded, because you have far more risk from ESD from yourself or the work surface than the iron!Despite being durable and powerful, and having an easy temperature control feature, the iron is also light and really compact, so I can easily have all my soldering stuff in one small toolbox. It is also comfortable in the hand. I don't know why some reviewers have said it's hard to hold, I didn't find this at all. I love using it. I highly recommend this iron if you want to treat yourself to all the best features and reduce your desk clutter. Just make sure you buy GENUINE Hakko tips. This iron will of course take any of the millions of clone T18 tips out there, but the Hakko tips have so many advantages. Why buy a performance vehicle only to put crappy tires on it? The tip is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak, so do yourself a favour and ditch your cheap soldering iron tips!
